The EU Commission has revealed its latest legislative framework with regard to the regulation of AI. With the aim of creating a global standard, the EU Commission has adopted a risk-based approach to regulating this vast and ever-growing computer science. The legislative framework creates a four tier risk system which can be updated with the emergence of new technologies.

"Such uses have no place in Europe and therefore we propose to ban them."
